control, in the case of that portion of the Seller Property which constitutes chattel paper
or instruments, the Trust Collateral Agent, as agent for the secured parties under the
Indenture, shall have a first priority perfected security interest in the Seller Property.
All filings (including, without limitation, such UCC filings) as are necessary in any
jurisdiction to perfect the interest of the Trust Collateral Agent, as agent for the Trust,
in the Seller Property have been made.

SECTION 3.02. Payment Upon Breach.



(a) The Seller, the Servicer, or the Trust Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall inform
the other parties to this Agreement promptly in writing, upon the discovery (which, in the case of
the Trust Collateral Agent shall mean actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trust
Collateral Agent or receipt of written notice of such breach or failure): (i) of any breach of the
Seller’s representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof without regard to
any limitation set forth therein concerning the knowledge of the Seller as to the facts stated
therein; or (ii) with respect to each date by which a review is required to be performed pursuant
to Section 3.03(d) hereof, that the aggregate number of Incomplete Contracts exceeds the
number of Permitted Incomplete Contracts for such date.



(b) Unless any such breach of a representation or warranty described in clause (a)(i) of this
Section 3.02 shall have been cured by, or the number of Incomplete Contracts with respect
to any review period described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section 3.02 no longer exceeds the
number of Permitted Incomplete Contracts as of last day of the first full Collection Period
following the discovery thereof: (i) the Seller shall have the obligation, and the Trust Collateral
Agent shall, at the expense of the Seller, enforce such obligation of the Seller, and if necessary,
the obligation of the Originator under the Sale and Contribution Agreement, to make a payment to
the Collection Account of the applicable Purchase Amount in respect of: (A) all Loans and Contracts
with respect to which there is a breach of any such representations and warranties, and (B) the
aggregate number of Incomplete Contracts which exceeds the number of Permitted Incomplete
Contracts, which, in the case of each of (A) and (B), are materially and adversely affected by such
event or which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Indenture Trustee therein as
of such last day; and (ii) the Majority Noteholders shall have the right to demand the Seller, and
if necessary, the Originator under the Sale and Contribution Agreement, and upon such demand the
Seller and, if applicable, the Originator, shall have the obligation, to make a payment to the
Collection Account of the applicable Purchase Amount in respect of any Permitted Incomplete
Contract which materially and adversely affects such Contract or which materially and adversely
affects the interest of the Indenture Trustee as of such last day.



(c) The sole remedy of the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trust, the Noteholders and the
Certificateholders with respect to a breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties pursuant
to Section 3.01 hereof which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in the Contracts, Purchased Loans or Dealers Loans shall be
to require the Seller to make payments in respect of the related Loans pursuant to this Section or
to enforce the obligation of Credit Acceptance to repurchase such Loans pursuant to the Sale and
Contribution Agreement, and to require the Seller to make payments in respect of the related
Contracts pursuant to this Section or to enforce the obligation of Credit Acceptance to make such
payments pursuant to the Sale and Contribution Agreement. The Trust Collateral Agent shall have no
duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the
purchase of any Loan or payment in respect of any Contract pursuant to this Section. Any expenses
incurred by the Trust Collateral Agent in enforcing the obligations of the Seller or Credit
Acceptance shall be paid pursuant to Section 5.08(a) hereof.




(d) (i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) during the Revolving
Period such payments of Purchase Amounts pursuant to Section 3.02(b) of this
Agreement shall not be required if the Adjusted Collateral Amount is equal to or greater
than the Minimum Collateral Amount, and (B) during the Amortization Period, such payments of
Purchase Amounts pursuant to Section 3.02(b) of this Agreement shall not be
required: (x) with respect to any Loan, so long as the aggregate Net Loan Balance of all
Loans which would be Ineligible Loans as a result of being subject to the foregoing payment
obligations during the Amortization Period is less than the sum of: (1) the product of (i)
the aggregate Net Loan Balance of all Eligible Loans transferred to the Issuer during the
Amortization Period and (ii) the then effective Advance Rate; and (2) all Purchase Amounts
which have been previously paid during the Amortization Period in respect of Ineligible
Loans (such sum, the “Amortization Period Additional Loan Collateral Amount”); and
(y) with respect to any Contract, so long as the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all
Contracts which would be Ineligible Contracts as a result of being subject to the foregoing
payment obligations during the Amortization Period is less than the sum of: (1) the product
of (i) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Eligible Contracts an interest in which is
transferred to the Issuer during the Amortization Period and (ii) a fraction, the numerator
of which is equal to the Aggregate Note Balance and the denominator of which is equal to the
Outstanding Balance of all Eligible Contracts; and (2) all Purchase Amounts which have been
previously paid during the Amortization Period in respect of Ineligible Contracts (such sum,
the “Amortization Period Additional Contract Collateral Amount”).




(ii) If such payments are required in accordance with clause (d)(i) of this Section
3.02, they shall be made: (A) with respect to Ineligible Loans, to the extent and in the
amount by which the aggregate Net Loan Balance of all Ineligible Loans which are subject to
the foregoing payment obligations during the Amortization Period exceeds the Amortization
Period Additional Loan Collateral Amount; and (B) with respect to Ineligible Contracts, to
the extent and in the amount by which the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Ineligible
Contracts which are subject to the foregoing payment obligations during the Amortization
Period exceeds the Amortization Period Additional Contract Collateral Amount (the foregoing
payment obligations, the “Amortization Period Payment Obligations”).




(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller’s obligation to make payments under
Section 3.02 hereof may be waived with the prior written consent of the Indenture
Trustee, at the direction of the Majority Noteholders. Any such waiver by the Indenture
Trustee, at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, as applicable, shall not require any
further waiver, action or consent by any other party. The party providing such waiver shall
give notice thereof to the Owner Trustee.



(e) Any Contract which is subject to a payment in accordance with Section
3.02(b), Section 3.03(d) or Section 4.07 of this Agreement shall be an
Ineligible Contract. Any Loan which is subject to a payment in accordance with Section
3.02(b), Section 3.03(d) or Section 4.07 of this Agreement shall be an
Ineligible Loan. Each Dealer Loan, Purchased Loan or Purchased Loan Contract which is subject to
a payment in accordance with Section 3.02(b), Section 3.03(d) or Section
4.07 of this Agreement, shall, upon payment in full of the related Purchase Amount, be released
from the lien created pursuant to the Indenture and shall no longer constitute Trust Property.



SECTION 3.03. Custody of Dealer Agreements, Purchase Agreements and Contract Files.



(a) The Trust hereby revocably appoints Credit Acceptance as custodian of the Dealer
Agreements, the Purchase Agreements, the Contract Files and the Certificates of Title related to
the Financed Vehicles. Credit Acceptance hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to hold, or

where it is required by applicable law, the original Certificate of Title related to each Financed
Vehicle under this Agreement as custodian for the Trust and the Trust Collateral Agent.

(ii) If, on the 120th day after the Closing Date or the 120th day after each
Distribution Date during the Revolving Period, the Servicer has not verified the presence of
the original Contract related to the Contracts listed on Schedule A hereto (or such
amendment or supplement to Schedule A relating to each Distribution Date during the
Revolving Period, as applicable) with respect to at least 98.0% of the number of Contract
Files required to be reviewed by each such 120th day in accordance with Section
3.03(d) hereof, the Servicer shall provide notice to the Owner Trustee and the Trust
Collateral Agent as of such date indicating the number of Incomplete Contracts as of such

after each Distribution Date during the Revolving Period, the Servicer shall provide an
Acknowledgment substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, dated as of such date,
to the Owner Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent confirming that the Servicer has
verified the presence of the original contract related to at least 98.0% of the Contract
Files required to be reviewed by such date in accordance with Section 3.03(d)
hereof.

administrative costs, the Issuer hereby revocably appoints the Servicer and the Servicer hereby
accepts such appointment, to act as the agent of the Issuer and the Trust Collateral Agent as
custodian of the original Certificates of Title for each Financed Vehicle evidencing the security
interest of the Trust Collateral Agent in such Financed Vehicle, which are hereby constructively
delivered to the Trust Collateral Agent as of the Closing Date. The Servicer agrees to maintain
the Dealer Agreements, Purchase Agreements, Contract Files, Certificates of Title and Records which
are delivered to it at the offices of the Servicer as shall from time to time be identified to the
Trust Collateral Agent and the Backup Servicer by written notice. The Servicer shall maintain, or
shall appoint an agent to maintain, such Certificates of Title at its principal place of business
located at Silver Triangle Building, 25505 West Twelve Mile Road, Southfield, Michigan 48034-8339
or as otherwise notified in writing to the Trust Collateral Agent and the Backup Servicer. The
Trust Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of the Servicer acting as
custodian.



(d) The Servicer shall within: (i) 120 days after the Closing Date and 120 days after each
Distribution Date during the Revolving Period, review at least 75.0% of the Contract Files related
to the Loans transferred to the Trust on the Closing Date or such Distribution Date, as applicable,
to verify the presence of the original of the Contract; and (ii) 180 days after the Closing Date
and 180 days after each Distribution Date during the Revolving Period, review the remainder of the

provided, however, that in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, the Certificate
of Title with respect to each Contract need not be verified. If the number of Incomplete Contracts
(or the number of originals of Contracts that have not otherwise been delivered to the Servicer)
exceeds the number of Permitted Incomplete Contracts as of any such 120th or 180th day, as
applicable, the Seller shall make the payment required by Section 3.02(b) only with respect
to the excess number of Incomplete Contracts, in an amount equal to the related Purchase Amount, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02(b) hereof.



(e) Subject to the foregoing, Credit Acceptance may temporarily move individual Dealer

accordance with its customary practices and procedures.



(f) The Servicer shall have and perform the following powers and duties:




(i) hold the Dealer Agreements, Purchase Agreements, Contract Files and Records in
trust for the benefit of the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trust and maintain a current

with respect to the handling and custody of the Dealer Agreements, the Purchase Agreements,
Contract Files and Records so that the integrity and physical possession of the Dealer
Agreements, Purchase Agreements, Contract Files and Records will be maintained.



In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer agrees to act with reasonable care, using that
degree of skill and care that it exercises with respect to similar Dealer Agreements, Purchase
Agreements, Contracts or Loans owned or held by it.



(g) The Servicer shall have the obligation (i) to physically segregate the Contract Files from
the other custodial files it is holding for its own account or on behalf of any other Person and
(ii) to physically mark the Contract folders to demonstrate the transfer of Contract Files and the
Trust Collateral Agent’s security interest hereunder.




(h) (i) If a Servicer Default occurs, the Trust Collateral Agent shall have the rights
set forth in Section 8.01 hereof, including, at the request of the Indenture
Trustee, at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, the right to terminate Credit
Acceptance as the custodian hereunder and the Trust Collateral Agent shall have the right to
appoint a successor custodian hereunder who shall assume all the rights and obligations of
the “custodian” hereunder. On the effective date of the termination of Credit Acceptance as
Servicer, Credit Acceptance shall be released of all of its obligations as custodian arising
on or after such date. The Dealer Agreements, the Purchase Agreements, Contract Files and
Records shall be delivered by Credit Acceptance to the successor custodian, on or before the
date which is two (2) Business Days prior to such date.




(ii) During the continuance of a Servicer Default, the Servicer and the Seller shall,
at the request of the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Majority Noteholders or the
Trust Collateral Agent, take all steps necessary to cause the Certificate of Title of each
Financed Vehicle to be revised to name the Trust Collateral Agent on behalf of the Trust as
lienholder. Any costs associated with such revision of the Certificate of Title shall be
paid by the Servicer and, and to the extent such costs are not paid by the Servicer such
unpaid costs shall be recovered as described in Section 5.08 hereof. In no event
shall the Trust Collateral Agent or the successor Servicer be required to expend funds in
connection with this Section 3.03(h). If the Backup Servicer has become the
successor Servicer, it shall be reimbursed for all Reliening Expenses (in accordance with
the provisions of Section 5.08(a) hereof) for any retitling effort associated with
the Financed Vehicles set forth in this Agreement.




(iii) The Servicer shall provide to the Trust Collateral Agent access to the Dealer
Agreements, the Purchase Agreements, Contract Files and Records and all other documentation
regarding the Dealer Agreements, Purchase Agreements, Contracts and the Loans and the
related Financed Vehicles in such cases where the Trust Collateral Agent is required in
connection with the enforcement of the rights or interests of the Trust, or by applicable
statutes or regulations to review such documentation, such access being afforded without
charge.



ARTICLE IV




ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF LOANS AND CONTRACTS




SECTION 4.01. Appointment; Duties of Servicer.



(a) Servicing; Termination. The Seller and the Trust hereby appoint Credit Acceptance
as Servicer hereunder and Credit Acceptance hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to manage,
collect and administer each of the Loans as Servicer. Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default,
the Indenture Trustee shall have the rights set forth in Section 8.01 hereof.



(b) Standard of Care; Types of Duties. The Servicer shall manage, service,
administer, and make collections on the Loans and the Contracts with reasonable care, using that
degree of skill and attention that the servicers in the retail automobile financing industry
exercise with respect to all comparable receivables that they service for themselves or others and
the same degree of care that the Servicer exercises with respect to any comparable loan or
automobile contracts that it holds for its own account. The Servicer’s duties shall include
collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Dealers and of Obligors on such
Contracts, investigating delinquencies, sending payment statements or coupons to Dealers and
Obligors, reporting tax information to Dealers and Obligors, accounting for collections, and
furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Trust Collateral Agent with respect to
distributions. The Servicer shall follow prudent standards, policies, and procedures in performing
its duties as Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby
granted a limited power of attorney by the Trust Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, on behalf
of itself, the Trust, the Noteholders, or the Trust Collateral Agent or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to such Loans and Contracts or to the Financed Vehicles
securing such Contracts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the Servicer shall
commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Loan or a Contract, the Trust Collateral Agent (in the
case of a Loan other than a Repurchased Loan) shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically
assigned, solely for the purpose of collection, such Loan or Contract to the Servicer. The
Servicer shall not make the Seller, the Trust, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Indenture Trustee
a party to any such legal proceeding without such party’s written consent. If in any enforcement
suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Loan or a Contract on
the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Loan
or Contract, the Trust Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have automatically assigned such Loan or
Contract to the Servicer, solely for the purpose of collection. The Trust Collateral Agent shall
furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents prepared by the Servicer
reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder. The Servicer, at its expense, shall obtain on behalf of the Trust
all licenses, if any, required by the laws of any jurisdiction to be held by the Trust in
connection with ownership of the Loans and the Purchased Loan Contracts and its security interest
in the Dealer Loan Contracts, and shall make all filings and pay all fees as may be required in
connection therewith during the term hereof. The Seller shall assist the Backup Servicer, as
successor Servicer, in connection with any reports related to distributions.



(c) Duties with Respect to the Basic Documents. Credit Acceptance shall perform all
its duties and, unless otherwise specified, the administrative duties of the Issuer under the Basic
Documents. In addition, Credit Acceptance shall consult with the Indenture Trustee, as Credit
Acceptance deems appropriate regarding the duties of the Issuer under the Basic Documents. Credit
Acceptance shall monitor the performance of the Trust and shall advise the Owner Trustee and
Indenture Trustee, when action is necessary to comply with the Trust’s duties under the Basic
Documents. The Seller (to the extent the Servicer does not) shall execute and deliver all Issuer
Orders and Officer’s Certificates required by the Trust under the Indenture. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Backup Servicer, as successor Servicer, shall not have an
obligation to perform such duties set forth in this Section 4.01(c).



(d) Duties with Respect to the Trust.




(i) In addition to the duties of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or any of the
Basic Documents, the Servicer, as Administrator, shall perform such calculations, shall
execute and deliver all Issuer Orders and Officer’s Certificates required of the Issuer
under the Basic Documents, and shall prepare for execution by the Trust or the Owner Trustee
or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate Persons of all such documents, reports,
filings, instruments, certificates, opinions, financial statements and accounting books and
records as it shall be the duty of the Trust or the Owner Trustee to prepare, file or
deliver pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or under state and federal
tax and securities laws or any state regulatory filings required to be made by the Trust and
shall take all appropriate action that it is the duty of the Trust to take pursuant to this
Agreement or any of the Basic Documents, including, without limitation, pursuant to
Section 5.1 (with respect to the preparation and filing of tax returns) and
Section 11.11 of the Trust Agreement.




(ii) In carrying out the foregoing duties or any of its other obligations under this
Agreement, the Servicer may enter into transactions with or otherwise deal with any of its
Affiliates; provided, however, that such delegation shall not relieve the
Servicer of its obligations that the terms of any such transaction or dealings shall be in
accordance with any directions received from the Trust and shall be, in the Servicer’s
opinion, no less favorable to the Trust in any material respect.



Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Backup Servicer is acting as
successor Servicer, the Seller shall assist the Backup Servicer in performing the duties of the
Administrator set forth in this Section 4.01(d).



(e) Records. The Servicer shall maintain appropriate books of account and records
relating to its duties performed under Section 4.01(c) and (d) hereof, which books
of account and records shall be accessible for inspection and copy by the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer or the Trust Collateral Agent at any time during normal
business hours at its offices and in a reasonable manner.



(f) Additional Information to be Furnished to the Trust. The Servicer shall furnish
to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Backup Servicer
from time to time such additional information regarding the Trust or the Basic Documents as the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Backup Servicer shall
reasonably request.



(g) Servicer as Independent Contractor. All services, duties and responsibilities of
the Servicer under this Agreement shall be performed and carried out by the Servicer as an
independent contractor for the benefit of the Trust, and none of the provisions of this Agreement
shall be deemed to make, authorize or appoint the Servicer as agent or representative of the
Seller, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trust or any Noteholder except as provided in Section
3.03 hereof.



SECTION 4.02. Collection and Application of Payments on the Loans and Contracts.



The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable
to collect all amounts due under the Loans and Contracts from time to time, all in accordance with
Applicable Laws, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Collection
Guidelines (including, without limitation, selling or assigning Defaulted Contracts to third
parties for collection), it being understood that there shall be no recourse to the Servicer with
regard to the Loans and Contracts except as otherwise provided herein and in the other Basic
Documents. In performing its duties as Servicer, the Servicer shall use the same degree of care
and attention it employs with respect to similar contracts and loans which it services for itself
or others. Each of the Issuer and the Trust Collateral Agent hereby appoints as its agent the
Servicer, from time to time designated pursuant to the terms hereof, to enforce its respective
rights and interests in and under the Trust Property. The Servicer shall hold in trust for the
Issuer and the Trust Collateral Agent all Records and all Collections (other than Dealer
Collections) and any other amounts it receives in respect of the Trust Property. In the event that
a successor Servicer is appointed, the outgoing Servicer shall deliver to the successor Servicer
and the successor Servicer shall hold in trust for the Issuer and the Trust Collateral Agent all
records which evidence or relate to all or any part of the Trust Property.



SECTION 4.03. Realization Upon Contracts.



On behalf of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts,
in accordance with the Collection Guidelines and prudent servicing procedures, to repossess or
otherwise convert the ownership of the Financed Vehicle securing any Contract as to which the
Servicer shall have determined eventual payment in full is unlikely, as soon as practicable after
the Servicer makes such determination. The Servicer may also sell or otherwise assign Defaulted
Contracts for collection in an effort to realize upon such Defaulted Contracts. The Servicer shall
follow such prudent practices and procedures as would be deemed prudent in the servicing of
comparable receivables, consistent with the standard of care required by Section 4.01(b)
which may include reasonable efforts to sell the Financed Vehicle at public or private sale. If
the Backup Servicer has become the Servicer, it shall be entitled to receive Repossession Expenses
in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof.



SECTION 4.04. Physical Damage Insurance.



The Servicer, in accordance with prudent servicing procedures, shall require that each Obligor
on a Contract shall have obtained physical damage insurance covering the Financed Vehicle as of the
date of execution of the Contract, as may be required in accordance with the Credit Guidelines.



SECTION 4.05. Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles.



The Servicer shall take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security
interest created by each Contract in the related Financed Vehicle, including, without limitation,
taking such steps as are reasonably necessary to maintain the Originator as noted lienholder on
each Certificate of Title relating to a Financed Vehicle in all states where such notation is a
means of perfection under applicable law. The Servicer shall take such steps as are necessary to
reperfect such security interest on behalf of the Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation
of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of a Contract to
the Indenture Trustee is insufficient without a notation on related Financed Vehicle’s Certificate
of Title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the
state in which the Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security interest in the related
Financed Vehicle in favor of the Indenture Trustee, the parties hereto agree that the Originator’s
designation as the secured party on the Certificate of Title is, with respect to each secured
party, as applicable, in its capacity as agent of the Indenture Trustee. The Backup Servicer as
successor Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for all expenses incurred in connection with
its duties under this Section 4.05.



SECTION 4.06. Covenants of Servicer.



(a) Affirmative Covenants. From the date hereof until the Stated Final Maturity or,
if earlier, the date each class of Notes have been paid in full:




(i) Compliance with Law. The Servicer will comply in all material respects
with all Applicable Laws, including those with respect to the Loans, the Dealer Agreements,
the Purchase Agreements, the Contracts or any part thereof.




(ii) Preservation of Existence. The Servicer will preserve and maintain its
existence, rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction of its formation, and

and qualification has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse
effect on the Loans, the Dealer Agreements, the Purchase Agreements, the Contracts or the
Notes.

Agreements. The Servicer will duly fulfill and comply with all obligations on the part

Trust Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders in, to and under the Trust
Property. The Backup Servicer as successor Servicer shall not have an obligation to perform
the obligations of the Servicer under this Section 4.06(a)(iii).




(iv) Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Servicer will maintain and
implement administrative and operating procedures (including without limitation, an ability
to recreate records consistent with standards or practices in the industry evidencing the
Loans and the Contracts in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof), and keep
and maintain all documents, books, records and other information reasonably necessary or
advisable for the collection of all Loans.




(v) Preservation of Security Interest. The Servicer will file such financing
and continuation statements and any other documents that may be required by any law or
regulation of any Governmental Authority to preserve and protect fully the security interest
of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders in, to and under the Trust
Property. In its capacity as custodian, it will maintain possession of the Dealer
Agreements, Purchase Agreements and the Contract Files and Records, as custodian for the
Trust and the Trust Collateral Agent, as set forth in Section 3.3(a).

clearly reflect therein the ownership of the Trust Property by the Issuer; and (B) any
statutory trust records of the Trust required in accordance with Section 4.1(c)(iv) of the
Trust Agreement.




(viii) Access to Records; Discussions with Officers. The Servicer shall, at
the Servicer’s expense upon the prior reasonable request of the Indenture Trustee, acting at
the direction of the Majority Noteholders, permit an authorized agent appointed by the
Majority Noteholders, access during normal business hours at its offices to (i) the
Servicer’s books of account, records, reports and other papers with respect to the Trust
Property and the Basic Documents and (ii) any of the properties of the Servicer, in order
to examine all of such books of account, records, reports and other papers, to make copies
and extracts therefrom and to discuss the Servicer’s affairs, finances and accounts with its
officers, employees, and subject to the agreement of such accountants, independent public
accountants. Such inspections and discussions shall be conducted at such reasonable times,
as often as may be reasonably requested and in a commercially reasonable manner.




(ix) ERISA. So long as the Seller or the Issuer are ERISA Affiliates of the
Servicer, the Servicer shall comply in all material respects with the provisions of ERISA,
the Code, and all other applicable laws, except where such non-compliance could not
reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect with respect to the Servicer
and its ERISA Affiliates or with respect to the Trust Property. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Servicer shall not, and shall not permit its ERISA Affiliates to: (i) engage
in any non-exempt prohibited transaction (within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code
Section 4975 or ERISA Section 406) with respect to any Benefit Plan for which the Servicer
or its ERISA Affiliates would have a material liability; (ii) fail to satisfy the minimum

Code with respect to any Benefit Plan or, in the case of a Multiemployer Plan, have an

the Code by an amount exceeding $500,000 or (iii) terminate any Benefit Plan or
Multiemployer Plan if such termination would result in any material liability for which the
Seller or Issuer would be liable as ERISA Affiliates.

Servicer for the portion of the fiscal year then ended, in reasonable detail and stating in
comparative form the respective figures for the corresponding date and period in the
preceding fiscal year, prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied (subject to
normal year-end adjustments), and certified by an authorized officer of the Servicer as
being complete and correct in all material respects and presenting the financial condition
and results of operations of the Servicer as of the dates and for the periods indicated, in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied (subject as to interim statements to normal
year-end adjustments).




(C) Certification Regarding Servicer Defaults. Concurrently with the delivery
of each financial report delivered under (A) or (B) above, a certification by the chief
financial officer or treasurer of the Servicer that no Servicer Default and no event which,
with the giving of notice or the passage of time, would become a Servicer Default has
occurred and is continuing or, if any such Servicer Default or other event has occurred and
is continuing, such a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, the action which the
Servicer has taken or proposes to take with respect thereto.




(D) Notices to Other Creditors. Concurrently with the delivery to the “Agent”
under the Comerica Credit Agreement, but in any event no later than when such reports and
notices are required to be given under such agreement, copies of any static pool analyses,
notices of default, SEC filings, notices disclosing adverse litigation or a material adverse
change in the Servicer’s financial condition, business or operations.




(E) Other Material Events. As soon as possible, and in any event within three
(3) Business Days after becoming aware of (i) any material adverse change in the financial
condition of the Servicer or any of its Subsidiaries, a certificate of a financial officer
setting forth the details of such change, or (ii) the submission of any claim or the
initiation of any legal process, litigation or administrative or judicial investigation
against the Servicer or any of its Subsidiaries in any federal, state or local court or

which, if adversely determined, would be reasonably likely to cause a material adverse
effect on the Servicer’s financial condition or operations, its ability to perform its
obligations hereunder or on the collectibility of the Trust Property.




(F) Other Information. Promptly upon request, such other information
respecting the Trust Property or the Servicer as the Rating Agencies may reasonably request.



(b) Negative Covenants. From the date hereof until the Stated Final Maturity or, if
earlier, the date that each class of Notes have been paid in full:




(i) Mergers, Acquisition, Sales, etc. The Servicer will not consolidate with
or merge into any other Person or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially
as an entirety to any Person, unless the Servicer is the surviving entity and unless:




(A) the Servicer has delivered to the Trust Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee,
the Owner Trustee and the Backup Servicer an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel
each stating that any consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer and such supplemental
agreement comply with the terms of this Agreement and that all conditions precedent herein
provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with and, in the case of the
Opinion of Counsel, that such supplemental agreement is legal, valid and binding with
respect to the Servicer and such other matters as the Trust Collateral Agent may reasonably
request;




(B) the Servicer shall have delivered written notice of such consolidation, merger,
conveyance or transfer to the Trust Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders; and,




(C) after giving effect thereto, no Servicer Default or event that with notice or lapse
of time, or both, would constitute a Servicer Default shall have occurred.




(ii) Change of Name or Location of Records. Except as permitted under
Section 7.03, the Servicer shall not (A) change its name or its state of
organization, move the location of its principal place of business and chief executive
office, and the offices where it keeps records concerning the Loans from the location
referred to in Section 3.03(c), or (B) move the Records from the location thereof on
the Closing Date, unless the Servicer has given at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to
the Trust Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee and has taken all actions required
under the UCC of each relevant jurisdiction in order to continue the first priority
perfected security interest of the Trust Collateral Agent as agent for the Noteholders in
the Trust Property.




(iii) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. The Servicer will not make
any change in its instructions to Obligors (other than pursuant to its Collection
Guidelines) regarding payments to be made directly or indirectly, unless the Trust
Collateral Agent with the consent of the Majority Noteholders has consented to such change
and has received duly executed documentation related thereto; provided,
however, any successor Servicer appointed Servicer hereunder, shall be permitted to
make changes to such instructions directing the Obligors to make payments to such successor
Servicer directly or indirectly upon its appointment, but any subsequent changes shall be
subject to the consent provisions of this clause (iii).




(iv) No Instruments. The Servicer shall take no action to cause any Loan to be
evidenced by any instrument (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the relevant
jurisdictions).




(v) No Liens. The Servicer shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any
other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than in
favor of the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trust as specifically contemplated herein) on the
Trust Property or any interest therein; the Servicer will notify the Trust Collateral Agent
of the existence of any Lien on any portion of the Trust Property immediately upon discovery
thereof, and the Servicer shall defend the right, title and interest of the Trust Collateral
Agent on behalf of the Noteholders in, to and under the Trust Property against all claims of
third parties claiming through or under the Servicer.




(vi) Credit Guidelines and Collection Guidelines. The Servicer will not amend,
modify, restate or replace, in whole or in part, the Credit Guidelines or Collection
Guidelines, which change would materially impair the collectibility of any Loan or Contract
or otherwise materially adversely affect the interests or the remedies of the Trust
Collateral Agent or the Trust under this Agreement or any other Basic Document, without the
prior written consent of the Trust Collateral Agent with the consent of the Majority
Noteholders.




(vii) Release of Contracts. Except for a release to an insurer in exchange for
insurance proceeds paid by such insurer resulting from a claim for the total insured value
of a vehicle, the Servicer shall not release or direct the Trust Collateral Agent to release
the Financed Vehicle securing each such Contract from the security interest granted by such
Contract in whole or in part, except in the event of (i) payment in full by or on behalf of
the Obligor thereunder, (ii) settlement with the Obligor in respect of Defaulted Contracts
consistent with its Collection Guidelines or (iii) repossession, nor shall the Servicer
impair the rights of the Noteholders in the Contracts, except as may be required by
applicable law.



(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may assign rights in and to Defaulted
Contracts to collection agents as part of the collection process under the Collection Guidelines.



SECTION 4.07. Payments in Respect of Loans or Contracts Upon Breach.



(a) The Servicer or the Trust Collateral Agent (provided that a Responsible Officer of the
Trust Collateral Agent has actual knowledge or has received written notice thereof) shall inform
the other parties to this Agreement promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of
Section 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05 or 4.06 hereof
which materially and adversely affects the interest of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in the
Contracts, the Purchased Loans or the Dealer Loans. Unless the breach shall have been cured by the
last day of the first full Collection Period following such actual knowledge or receipt of notice
by an Authorized Officer of the Servicer, the Servicer shall, as of the Business Day preceding the
Determination Date relating to the respective Collection Period, make payments with respect to any
nonconforming Loan that is materially and adversely affected by such breach or which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders, and shall prepay in full any nonconforming
Contract that is materially and adversely affected by such breach or which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Noteholders; provided, however, if the Backup Servicer
is acting as successor Servicer, it shall not have any obligation to make payments with respect to
any Loans or prepay any Contracts. In consideration of the making of payments with respect to such
Loan or such Contract, the Servicer shall remit the Purchase Amount. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, (i) during the Revolving Period, such payments shall not be required if the
Adjusted Collateral Amount is equal to or greater than the Minimum Collateral Amount; and (ii)
during the Amortization Period, such payments shall not be required: (A) with respect to any Loan,
so long as the aggregate Net Loan Balance of all Loans which would be Ineligible Loans as a result
of being subject to the foregoing payment obligations during the Amortization Period is less than
the Amortization Period Additional Loan Collateral Amount; and (B) with respect to any Contract, so
long as the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Contracts which would be Ineligible Contracts as a
result of being subject to the foregoing payment obligations during the Amortization Period is less
than the Amortization Period Additional Contract Collateral Amount.



(b) If such payments are required in accordance with clause (a) of this Section
4.07, they shall be made only with respect to the Amortization Period Payment Obligations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer’s obligation to make any payment under this
Section 4.07 may be waived with the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee,
at the direction of the Majority Noteholders. The Trust Collateral Agent shall have no duty to
conduct any affirmative investigation or inquiry as to the occurrence of any condition requiring
payments to be made with respect to any Loan or Contract pursuant to this Section. Any such waiver
by the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, as applicable, shall not
require any further waiver, action or consent by any other party. The party providing such waiver
shall give notice thereof to the Owner Trustee.



SECTION 4.08. Servicer Fee.



The Servicer, including any successor Servicer, shall be entitled to payment of the Servicing
Fee as defined herein, which shall be payable in accordance with Section 5.08(a) hereof.
In no event shall the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent be responsible for the
Servicing Fee or for any differential between the Servicing Fee and the amount necessary to induce
a successor Servicer to assume the obligations of Servicer hereunder.



SECTION 4.09. Servicer’s Certificate.



(a) By the Determination Date in each calendar month, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust
Collateral Agent, the Rating Agencies, the Backup Servicer, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, a
Servicer’s Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto containing all
information necessary to make the transfers, deposits and distributions pursuant to Sections
5.04 through 5.11 hereof for the Collection Period immediately preceding the date of
such Servicer’s Certificate and as of the last day of such Collection Period, and all information
necessary for the Trust Collateral Agent to make available statements to the Noteholders pursuant
to Section 5.11 hereof. Upon receipt of the Servicer’s Certificate, the Trust Collateral
Agent shall conclusively rely (and shall be fully protected in so relying) on the information
contained therein for the purposes of making distributions and allocations as provided for herein.
Each Servicer’s Certificate shall be certified by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer. The
Seller shall assist the Trust Collateral Agent with its obligation to make distributions and
allocations. Loans purchased by the Trust shall be identified by the Servicer by the Dealer’s lot
number and certain other information with respect to such Loan (as specified in Schedule A
to this Agreement).



(b) No later than 9:00 A.M. New York time on the third (3rd) Business Day of each
calendar month (the “Servicer’s Data Date”), the Servicer shall send to the Backup Servicer
a Computer Tape, detailing the Collections received during the prior Collection Period and all
other information in its possession relating to the Loans and the Contracts as may be necessary for
the complete and correct completion of the Servicer’s Certificate (the “Servicer’s Data
File”). Such Computer Tape shall be in the form and have the specifications as may be agreed
to between the Servicer and the Backup Servicer from time to time.



(c) No later than the end of the second (2nd) Business Day prior to each
Determination Date, the Servicer shall furnish to the Backup Servicer the Servicer’s Certificate
related to the prior Collection Period together with all other information necessary for the
preparation of such Servicer’s Certificate and necessary to determine the application of
Collections. The Backup Servicer shall review the information contained in the Servicer’s
Certificate against the information on the Servicer’s Data File, on an aggregate basis.



The Backup Servicer and the Servicer shall attempt to reconcile any such material
inconsistencies and/or to furnish any such omitted information and the Servicer shall amend the
Servicer’s Certificate to reflect the Backup Servicer’s computations or to include the omitted
information. The Backup Servicer shall in no event be liable to the Servicer with respect to any
failure of the Backup Servicer to discover or detect any errors, inconsistencies, or omissions by
the Servicer with respect to the Servicer’s Certificate and Servicer’s Data File except as
specifically set forth in this Section.



(d) The Servicer shall provide to the Backup Servicer, or its agent, monthly, or as frequently
as may be otherwise requested, information on the Loans and related Contracts sufficient to enable
the Backup Servicer to assume the responsibilities as successor Servicer and collect on the
Contracts.



(e) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Backup Servicer may accept and conclusively rely
on all accounting, records and work of the Servicer without audit, and the Backup Servicer shall
have no liability for the acts or omissions of the Servicer or for the inaccuracy of any data
provided, produced or supplied by the Servicer. If any Error exists in any information received
from the Servicer, and such Errors should cause or materially contribute to any Continued Errors,
the Backup Servicer shall have no liability for such Continued Errors; provided,
however, that this provision shall not protect the Backup Servicer against any liability
that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in
discovering or correcting any Error or in the performance of its or their duties hereunder or under
this Agreement. In the event the Backup Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, the
Backup Servicer shall use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is
commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and prevent future Continued
Errors. The Backup Servicer shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended from the
Servicer.



(f) The Backup Servicer and its officers, directors, employees and agent shall be indemnified
by the Servicer and the Issuer jointly and severally, from and against all claims, damages, losses
or expenses reasonably incurred by the Backup Servicer (including reasonable attorney’s fees)
arising out of claims asserted against the Backup Servicer by third parties on any matter arising
out of this Agreement to the extent the act or omission giving rise to the claim accrues before the
date on which the Backup Servicer assumes the duties of Servicer hereunder, except for any claims,
damages, losses or expenses arising from the Backup Servicer’s own gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct. Indemnification by the Servicer and the Issuer under this Section
4.09(f) shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier removal or resignation
of the Backup Servicer.



(g) Other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement or in the Backup Servicing
Agreement, the Backup Servicer shall have no obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer
the performance of the Servicer and shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation, or liability
for any action taken or omitted by the Servicer.



SECTION 4.10. Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Default.



(a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Collateral Agent, the Owner Trustee, the Rating
Agencies, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, on or before April 30th of each
year beginning in the year 2010, an Officer’s Certificate, dated as of the preceding December 31st,
stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month (or for
the initial certificate, for such shorter period as may have elapsed from the Closing Date to such
December 31st or, with respect to a successor Servicer, shorter period if a successor
Servicer becomes Servicer after the beginning of a calendar year) period and of its performance
under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such
officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under
this Agreement throughout such period, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any
such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof.



(b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner
Trustee, the Backup Servicer and to the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge
thereof, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, written notice in an
Officer’s Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would
become a Servicer Default under Section 8.01. The Seller shall deliver to the Trust
Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer and to the Rating
Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five (5)
Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officer’s Certificate of any event which with the
giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default under clause (ii) of
Section 8.01. The Trust Collateral Agent shall forward a copy of each Officer’s
Certificate so received to each Noteholder.



SECTION 4.11. Annual Independent Certified Public Accountant’s Report.



(a) The Servicer will deliver to the Trust Collateral Agent, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, each Noteholder and the Rating Agencies, on or before April 30th of each year
beginning in the year 2011, a copy of a report prepared by Independent Accountants, who may also
render other services to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, or to the Seller, addressed to the
Board of Directors of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee and dated during the current year, to
the effect that such firm has examined the Servicer’s policies and procedures and issued its report
thereon and expressing a summary of findings (based on the procedures to be performed on the
documents, records and accounting records set forth in clause (b) of this Section 4.11)
relating to the servicing of the Loans and the related Contracts and the administration of the
Loans and the related Contracts and of the Trust during the preceding calendar year and that such
servicing and administration was conducted in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, except
for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial and (ii) such other exceptions
as shall be set forth in such report and that such examination (1) was performed in accordance with
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and (2) included
tests relating to auto loans serviced for others in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform
Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (the “Program”) to the extent the
procedures in the Program are applicable to the servicing obligations set forth in this Agreement.
For purposes of clause (i) of this Section 4.11(a), an amount shall be deemed “immaterial”
if it is less than $1,000 or 0.05%.



In the event such independent public accountants require the Trust Collateral Agent or the
Indenture Trustee to agree to the procedures to be performed by such firm in any of the reports
required to be prepared pursuant to this Section 4.11, the Servicer shall direct the Trust
Collateral Agent or the Indenture Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed
that the Trust Collateral Agent or the Indenture Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in
conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Servicer, and neither the Trust Collateral Agent nor
the Indenture Trustee has made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no
obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.



Such report shall also indicate that the firm is independent of the Servicer and its
Affiliates within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants.



(b) The procedures to be performed by the Independent Accountants shall include: (i) a
comparison of the data contained in two (2) Servicer Certificates (which are to be selected at
random by the Independent Accountants from all of the Servicer Certificates delivered during the
applicable fiscal year) to (A) the Servicer’s internal reports derived from its loan servicing
system, (B) information obtained by the Servicer from the Indenture Trustee in compiling the
Servicer Certificates, and (C) such other information used in the preparation of the Servicer
Certificates, to confirm the calculation of the data contained in the Servicer Certificates; (ii) a
comparison of the Aggregate Outstanding Eligible Loan Balance contained on three (3) Servicer
Certificates (which are to be selected at random by the Independent Accountants from all of the
Servicer Certificates delivered during the applicable fiscal year) to the Servicer’s internal
reports derived from its accounting records, to confirm the calculation of such amount; (iii) an
audit of the Servicer’s cash collections procedures by testing a random sample of five (5) daily
cash receipts from the Servicer’s list of cash collections for the applicable fiscal year to
confirm that Collections received are deposited to the Collection Account within two (2) Business
Days of receipt; and (iv) such other procedures as may be mutually agreed upon by the Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee at the direction of the Majority Noteholders and the Independent Accountants
which are considered appropriate under the circumstances.



SECTION 4.12. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Loans and
Contracts.



The Servicer shall provide to each Noteholder, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Collateral
Agent access to its records pertaining to the Loans and the related Contracts, upon prior written
request. Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the
normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall affect the
obligation of the Servicer to observe any Applicable Law prohibiting disclosure of information
regarding the Dealers or the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to
information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.



SECTION 4.13. Servicer Expenses.



The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
activities hereunder, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, taxes imposed on
the Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to the Noteholders,
the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent and with administering the duties of the Trust
and the Issuer. If the Backup Servicer has become the Servicer, it shall be entitled to be
reimbursed for all Servicer Expenses, Repossession Expenses, Reliening Expenses and Transition
Expenses in accordance with Section 5.08(a) hereof.



SECTION 4.14. Servicer Not to Resign as Servicer.



Subject to the provisions of Section 7.03 of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not
resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement except
upon determination that the performance of its duties under this Agreement shall no longer be
permissible under applicable law. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of
the Servicer shall be communicated to the Trust Collateral Agent, the Rating Agencies, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee within five (5) Business Days thereafter (and, if such
communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing within five (5) Business Days
thereafter) and any such determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect
delivered to the Trust Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee concurrently with or promptly
after such notice. No such resignation shall become effective until the successor Servicer,
appointed in accordance with Section 8.02 hereof, shall have taken the actions required by
the last paragraph of Section 8.01 of this Agreement and shall have assumed the
responsibilities and obligations of the predecessor Servicer in accordance with Section
8.02 of this Agreement. The Trust Collateral Agent shall forward a copy of each notice so
received to each Noteholder and the Rating Agencies.



SECTION 4.15. The Backup Servicer.



(a) Prior to assuming any of the Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder the Backup
Servicer shall only be responsible to perform those duties specifically imposed upon it by the
provisions of the Backup Servicing Agreement, and no implied obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Backup Servicer. Such duties generally relate to following the provisions
herein which would permit the Backup Servicer to assume some or all of the Servicer’s rights and
obligations hereunder (as modified or limited herein or in the Backup Servicing Agreement) with
reasonable dispatch, following notice.



The Backup Servicer, prior to assuming any of the Servicer’s duties hereunder, may not resign
hereunder unless it arranges for a successor Backup Servicer reasonably acceptable to the Servicer
and the Seller, with not less than 30 days’ notice delivered to the Servicer and the Seller. Prior
to its becoming successor Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall have only those duties and
obligations imposed by it under this Agreement, and shall have no obligations or duties under any
agreement to which it is not a party, including but not limited to the various agreements named
herein.



(b) The Backup Servicer shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur liability (financial or otherwise) in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in
the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the repayment of such funds or written indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it in
writing prior to the expenditure or risk of such funds or incurrence of financial liability.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Backup Servicer, in its capacity as such, and
not in its capacity as successor Servicer, shall not be liable for any obligation of the Servicer
contained in this Agreement, and the parties shall look only to the Servicer to perform such
obligations.



(c) The Servicer shall have no liability, direct or indirect, to any party, for the acts or
omissions of the Backup Servicer, whenever such acts or omissions occur whenever such liability is
imposed, except as set forth in Section 4.09(f). The successor Servicer shall not be
liable for the acts or omissions of any predecessor Servicer.



SECTION 4.16. Fidelity Bond.



The Servicer hereby represents and covenants that the Servicer has obtained, and shall
continue to maintain in full force and effect, a fidelity bond covering the Servicer of a type and
in such amount as is customary for prudent servicers engaged in the business of servicing sub-prime
and non-prime motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts similar to the Contracts.



SECTION 4.17. Obligations in Respect of the Owner Trustee.



To the extent Credit Acceptance is no longer the Servicer hereunder, Credit Acceptance, in its
individual capacity, agrees to perform the obligations of the Servicer, as Administrator, described
in Section 4.01(d) and Section 4.06(a)(vii)(B) hereof and in Sections 5.1, 6.2 and
11.11 of the Trust Agreement.



ARTICLE V




TRUST ACCOUNTS; DISTRIBUTIONS; STATEMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS AND NOTEHOLDERS




SECTION 5.01. Establishment of Trust Accounts.




(a) (i) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trust Collateral Agent, on behalf of the
Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders and, after the Note Termination Date,
the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in its own name two Eligible Accounts
(respectively, the “Collection Account” and the “Principal Collection
Account”) bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are
held for the benefit of the Trust Collateral Agent on behalf of the Indenture Trustee for
the benefit of the Noteholders and, after the Note Termination Date, the Certificateholders,
as their interests may appear. The Collection Account and the Principal Collection Account
shall initially be established with the Trust Collateral Agent.




(ii) The Trust Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of
the Noteholders and, after the Note Termination Date, the Certificateholders, shall
establish and maintain in its own name an Eligible Account (the “Note Distribution
Account”) bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are
held for the benefit of the Trust Collateral Agent on behalf of the Indenture Trustee for
the benefit of the Noteholder and, after the Note Termination Date, the Certificateholders,
as their interests may appear. The Note Distribution Account shall initially be established
with the Trust Collateral Agent.




(iii) The Trust Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit
of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in its own name an Eligible Account
(the “Certificate Distribution Account”) bearing a designation clearly indicating
that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Trust Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Certificate
Distribution Account shall initially be established with the Trust Collateral Agent.




(iv) The Trust Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Noteholders and, after the Note
Termination Date, the Certificateholders, as their interests may appear, shall establish and
maintain in its own name an Eligible Account (the “Reserve Account”) bearing a
designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of
the Trust Collateral Agent on behalf of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders and, after the Note Termination Date, the Certificateholders, as their interests
may appear. The Reserve Account shall initially be established with the Trust Collateral
Agent.



(b) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Principal Collection Account and the
Reserve Account shall each be invested by the Trust Collateral Agent (or any custodian with respect
to funds on deposit in any such account) in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the
Servicer (pursuant to standing instructions or otherwise), bearing interest or sold at a discount,
and maturing, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the
next Distribution Date; provided, however, it is understood and agreed that the
Trust Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any loss arising from such investment in Eligible
Investments unless the Eligible Investment was a direct obligation of the Trust Collateral Agent in
its commercial capacity or unless such loss was caused by the Trust Collateral Agent’s negligence
or willful misconduct (it being understood and acknowledged that no loss on any such Eligible
Investment which was made in conformity with this Agreement and the instructions of the Servicer
shall be considered “caused by the Trust Collateral Agent’s negligence or willful misconduct”). All
such Eligible Investments shall be held by or on behalf of the Trust Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and, after the Note Termination Date,
the Certificateholders, as their interests may appear. Funds deposited in the Collection Account
on the day immediately preceding a Distribution Date upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments
are not required to be invested overnight. On each Distribution Date, all interest and investment
income (net of investment losses and expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account, as of
the end of the Collection Period shall be included in Available Funds; and all interest and other
investment income (net of investment losses and expenses) on funds on deposit in the Reserve
Account shall be deposited into the Reserve Account. On each Distribution Date during the
Revolving Period, all interest and other investment income (net of investment losses and expense)
on funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account shall be deposited into the Principal
Collection Account; thereafter, such interest and other investment income (net of investment losses
and expense) shall be included in Available Funds in the Collection Account.



(c) If (i) the Servicer shall have failed to give investment directions for any funds on
deposit in the Collection Account, the Principal Collection Account or the Reserve Account to the
Trust Collateral Agent by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Issuer
and Trust Collateral Agent) on any Business Day; or (ii) an Indenture Default or Indenture Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes shall not
have been declared due and payable, or, if such Notes shall have been declared due and payable
following an Indenture Event of Default, amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Property
are being applied as if there had not been such a declaration; then the Trust Collateral Agent
shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Collection Account, the
Principal Collection Account or the Reserve Account, as the case may be, in Eligible Investments
described in clause (v) of the definition thereof.



(d) (i) Subject to the grant of the security interest pursuant to the Indenture in favor of
the Indenture Trustee, the Trust shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on
deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts (other than Dealer Collections) and in all proceeds

authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Noteholders
sufficient funds for the payment of any withholding tax that is legally owed by the Trust as
instructed by the Servicer, in writing in a Servicer’s Certificate (but such authorization shall
not prevent the Trust Collateral Agent from contesting at the expense of the Seller any such
withholding tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of withholding such tax, if
permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax
imposed with respect to any Noteholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Noteholder at
the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is
a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a
distribution to a non-US Noteholder), the Trust Collateral Agent may withhold such amounts in
accordance with this clause (b). In the event that a Noteholder wishes to apply for a refund of
any such withholding tax, the Trust Collateral Agent shall reasonably cooperate with such
Noteholder in making such claim so long as such Noteholder agrees to reimburse the Trust Collateral
Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.



(c) Distributions required to be made to Noteholders on any Distribution Date shall be made to
each Noteholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer, in immediately
available funds, to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate
facilities therefor, if (i) such Noteholder shall have provided to the Note Registrar appropriate
written instructions at least ten Business Days prior to such Distribution Date or (ii) such
Noteholder is the Seller, or an Affiliate thereof, or, if not, by check mailed to such Noteholder
at the address of such holder appearing in the Note Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
final distribution in respect of any Note (whether on the Stated Final Maturity or otherwise) will
be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note at the office or agency maintained for
that purpose by the Note Registrar pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture.



SECTION 5.10. Certificate Distribution Account.



(a) On each Distribution Date, the Trust Collateral Agent shall (based on the information
contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered on the related Determination Date) distribute all
amounts on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account to the Certificateholders.



(b) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’s payment (or allocations of
income) to a Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the
Certificateholder in accordance with this Section. The Trust Collateral Agent is hereby authorized
and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders sufficient
funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust as instructed in writing by the
Servicer (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trust Collateral Agent from contesting, at
the expense of the Seller, any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such
tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding
tax imposed with respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such
Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing
authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a
distribution (such as a distribution to a non-US Certificateholder), the Trust Collateral Agent may
withhold such amounts in accordance with this clause (b). In the event that a Holder wishes to
apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Trust Collateral Agent shall reasonably
cooperate with such Certificateholder in making such claim so long as such Certificateholder agrees
to reimburse the Trust Collateral Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.



(c) Distributions required to be made to Certificateholders on any Distribution Date shall be
made to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer, in
immediately available funds, to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Certificateholder shall have provided to the
Certificate Registrar appropriate written instructions at least ten Business Days prior to such
Distribution Date and such Holder’s Certificates in the aggregate evidence a denomination of not
less than $500,000 or (ii) such Certificateholder is the Seller, or an Affiliate thereof, or, if
not, by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the
Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution in respect of any
Certificate (whether on the Stated Final Maturity or otherwise) will be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office or agency maintained for that purpose
by the Certificate Registrar pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Trust Agreement.



(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all transfers of funds between accounts may occur on the
Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date related to such transfer; all
distributions from accounts shall occur on the Distribution Date.



SECTION 5.11. Statements to Certificateholders and Noteholders.



On or prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer (provided, that in the event the Backup
Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, the Seller shall assist the Backup Servicer in the
performance of its obligations under this Section 5.11) shall provide to the Trust
Collateral Agent the Servicer’s Certificate (with copies to the Rating Agencies). The Trust
Collateral Agent will be required to make the Servicer’s Certificate related to such Distribution
Date available to the Noteholders, the Certificateholder and Bloomberg, L.P. Each Servicer’s
Certificate will include, among other things, the following information with respect to the Notes
with respect to the related Distribution Date, or the period since the previous Distribution Date,
as applicable.




(i) the amount of the related distribution allocable to principal;




(ii) the amount of the related distribution allocable to interest;




(iii) the amount of the related distribution payable out of the Reserve Account;




(iv) the Aggregate Outstanding Net Eligible Loan Balance, the Aggregate Outstanding
Eligible Loan Balance and the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Eligible Contracts as of
the close of business on the last day of the preceding Collection Period (in each case,
calculated separately in respect of all Purchased Loans, all Dealer Loans and all Loans in
the aggregate);




(v) the Aggregate Note Balance, the Class A Note Balance, the Class B Note Balance and
the Class C Note Balance;




(vi) the amount of the Servicing Fee paid to the Servicer with respect to the related

Collection Periods, as the case may be;




(vii) the Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall, if any, and the Class B Interest
Carryover Shortfall, if any;




(viii) the total amount of Collections for the related Collection Period; and




(ix) the aggregate Purchase Amount for the Ineligible Loans and Ineligible Contracts,
if any, that was paid in such period.



The Trust Collateral Agent shall make such information and certain other documents, reports,
and Loan and Contract information provided by the Servicer’s Certificate available to each
Noteholder via the Indenture Trustee’s website. The Indenture Trustee’s internet website shall be
initially located at “www.CTSLink.com” or at such other address as shall be specified by the
Indenture Trustee from time to time in writing to the Noteholders. In connection with providing
access to the Indenture Trustee’s website, the Indenture Trustee may require registration and the
acceptance of a disclaimer. The Trust Collateral Agent will make no representation or warranties
as to the accuracy or completeness of such documents and will assume no responsibility therefor.



The Trust Collateral Agent shall not be liable for the dissemination of information received
and distributed in accordance with this Agreement.

The Seller makes the following representations on which the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and
the Trust Collateral Agent relied in accepting the Trust Property in trust and in connection with

the related Contracts.

foreign limited liability company in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses
and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the
conduct of its business requires such qualifications.




(iii) Power and Authority. The Seller has the power and authority to execute
and deliver this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party and to carry
out their respective terms. The Seller has full power and authority to sell and assign the

approvals or consents or other action by or any notice to or any filing with, any Person.

indenture, agreement, or other instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it is
bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties
pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement, or other instrument; or violate any

the Seller of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency,
or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties.




(vi) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending, or to

the extent that such taxes have become due, other than any taxes or assessments, the
validity of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with

contemplated by the Basic Documents and, after giving effect thereto, will not be left with
an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business. The Seller
does not intend to incur, or believes that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay
such debts as they mature. The Seller does not contemplate the commencement of insolvency,
bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver,
liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official or any of its assets. The amount of
consideration being received by the Seller upon the sale of the Seller Property to the Trust
constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the Seller Property. The
Seller is not selling the Seller Property to the Trust, as provided in the Basic Documents,
with any intent to hinder, deal or defraud any of Credit Acceptance’s creditors.




(xx) Payment to Originator. The Seller has given reasonably equivalent value
and fair consideration for the Contributed Property conveyed to the Seller under the Sale
and Contribution Agreement and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent
debt. No transfer by the Originator of any originator property under the Sale and
Contribution Agreement is or may be voidable under any section of the Bankruptcy Code.



SECTION 6.02. Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others.



Neither the Seller nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Seller
shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Noteholders or the
Certificateholders, except as provided under this Agreement for any action taken or omitted to be
taken pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not
protect the Seller against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misconduct or negligence in the performance of their respective duties under this Agreement. Each
of the Seller and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith
on the advice of counsel, Opinion of Counsel, Officer’s Certificate, or on any document of any
kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. The Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any
legal action that shall not be incidental to its obligations under this Agreement, and that in its
opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the
Seller may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of
this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the
Noteholders and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. In such event, the legal expenses and
costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs, and
liabilities of the Seller.



SECTION 6.03. Seller May Own Notes.



The Seller and any Person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Seller
may in their individual or any other capacities become the owner or pledgee of the Notes with the
same rights as it would have if it were not the Seller or an affiliate thereof, except as otherwise
provided in the definition of “Class A Noteholder,” “Class B Noteholder,” and “Class C Noteholder”
specified in Section 1.01 and except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The Notes
of any class so owned by or pledged to the Seller or such controlling, controlled or commonly
controlled Person shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this
Agreement, without preference, priority, or distinction as among all of the Notes of such class.



SECTION 6.04. Additional Covenants of the Seller.



The Seller shall not do any of the following, without the prior written consent of the Trust
Collateral Agent, who shall, without any exercise of its own discretion, provide its written
consent to the Seller upon receipt by it of a copy of the written consent of the Majority
Noteholders:




(i) engage in any business or activity other than those set forth in the Certificate of
Formation or limited liability company agreement of the Seller or amend the Seller’s
Certificate of Formation or limited liability company agreement other than in accordance
with its terms as in effect on the date hereof;




(ii) incur any indebtedness, or assume or guaranty any indebtedness of any other
entity, other than (A) any indebtedness incurred in connection with the Class A Notes, and
(B) any indebtedness to Credit Acceptance incurred in connection with the acquisition of the
Loans, which indebtedness shall be subordinated to all other obligations of the Seller and
Credit Acceptance; or




(iii) dissolve or liquidate, in whole or in part; consolidate or merge with or into any
other entity or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to
any entity.



SECTION 6.05. Indemnities of the Issuer.



The Issuer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations
specifically undertaken by the Issuer under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which
it is a party and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
Issuer.




(i) The Issuer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Trust Collateral Agent,
the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee and their
respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and the Trust from and against any and

contemplated herein, including, without limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general
corporation, tangible personal property, privilege, or license taxes (but, in the case of

of the Loans to the Trust or the issuance and original sale of the Notes, or asserted with
respect to ownership of the Loans, or federal or other income taxes arising out of the

same.




(iii) The Issuer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Trust, the Servicer,
the Backup Servicer, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and the Class A
Noteholders from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, and
liabilities to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability arose
out of, or was imposed upon such party through the breach by the Issuer of its obligations
under this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which it is a party, the negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith of the Issuer in the performance of its duties under this
Agreement or any other Basic Document to which it is a party.




(iv) The Issuer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Trust Collateral Agent,
the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer and each of
their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all costs,
expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities arising out of or incurred in connection
with the acceptance or performance of the trusts and duties herein contained, except, with
respect to any such indemnified party, to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim,
damage, or liability: (a) shall be due to the willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence
(or in the case of the Owner Trustee, gross negligence) of such indemnified party; or (b)
shall arise from such indemnified party’s breach of any of its representations or warranties
in any material respect set forth in the Indenture.




(v) The Issuer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, the Indenture Trustee, the
Owner Trustee and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents from and against
all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities arising out of or incurred in
connection with the acceptance or performance of the trusts and duties contained in the
Trust Agreement, except, as to any such party, to the extent that such cost, expense, loss,
claim, damage, or liability: (a) shall be due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or
negligence (or in the case of the Owner Trustee, gross negligence) of such party; or (b)
shall arise from such breach of any of its representations or warranties set forth in the
Trust Agreement. The indemnification of the Owner Trustee hereunder shall include
indemnification for the matters set forth in Section 8.2 of the Trust Agreement.



Indemnification under this Section by the Issuer shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If
the Issuer shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the recipient
thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the recipient shall promptly repay such
amounts to the Issuer, without interest. Amounts payable by the Issuer pursuant to this
Section 6.05 shall only be payable: (i) in accordance with and only to the extent funds
are available therefor pursuant to Section 5.08(a) hereof; or (ii) to the extent the Issuer
receives additional funds designated for such purpose. No amount owing by the Issuer under this
Section 6.05 shall constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code)
against the Issuer and recourse to it.

foreign corporation in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals

the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of
any such indenture, agreement, or other instrument (other than this Agreement); nor, to the
best of the Servicer’s knowledge, violate any law applicable to the Servicer or any order,
rule, or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any court or of any federal or state

affect the federal income tax attributes of the Notes.

other party or any consent, license, approval or authorization, or registration or
declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or agency in connection with the
execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other
Basic Documents to which it is a party.




(viii) Approvals. The Servicer: (i) is not in violation of any laws,
ordinances, governmental rules or regulations to which it is subject, which violation
materially and adversely affects the business or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Servicer and its subsidiaries, the Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder
or under any other Basic Document or any of the Trust Property; (ii) has not failed to
obtain any licenses, permits, franchises or other governmental authorizations necessary to
the ownership of its property or to the conduct of its business which failure to obtain will

Agreement. The Servicer is in possession of all State and local licenses (including all
debt collection licenses) required for it to perform its services hereunder, and none of
such licenses has been suspended, revoked or terminated, except where the failure to have
such licenses would not be reasonably likely to have material adverse effect on its ability
to service the Loans or Contracts or on the interest of the Indenture Trustee, the Trust
Collateral Agent or the Noteholders.

that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability arose out of, or was imposed upon
such party through the breach by the Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement or any
other Basic Document to which it is a party, in its capacity as Servicer, the negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this
Agreement or any other Basic Document to which it is a party.

material respect set forth in the Indenture; or (c) as to the Trust Collateral Agent, shall
arise out of or be incurred in connection with the performance by the Trust Collateral Agent
of the duties of successor Servicer hereunder.




(v) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, the Indenture Trustee, the
Owner Trustee and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents from and against

Indemnification under this Section by the Servicer, with respect to the period such Person was
(or was deemed to be) the Servicer, shall survive the termination of such Person as Servicer or a
resignation by such Person as Servicer as well as the termination of this Agreement and shall
include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Servicer shall
have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the recipient thereafter collects any
of such amounts from others, the recipient shall promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer,
without interest.

to Section 8.02. The provisions of this paragraph shall in no way affect the survival
pursuant to the preceding paragraph of the indemnification by the Servicer.



Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations of the Servicer
described in this Section shall not terminate or be deemed released upon the resignation or
termination of the Servicer and shall survive any termination of this Agreement to the extent that
such obligations arise from the Servicer’s actions hereunder while acting as Servicer.

corporation in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption acceptable to the
Majority Noteholders (which acceptance shall be in writing) to perform every obligation of the
Servicer under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party, will be the
successor to the Servicer under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
to this Agreement; provided, however, that (x) the Servicer shall have delivered to
the Trust Collateral Agent, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, conversion, merger or succession
and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section and that all conditions precedent

of such filings, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such Counsel, no such action shall be
necessary to preserve and protect such interest and (z) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been
satisfied. The Servicer shall provide notice of any merger, conversion, consolidation or succession

Agent, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, except as provided under this Agreement or any
other Basic Document to which it is a party, for any action taken or omitted to be taken pursuant
to this Agreement in the good faith business judgment of the Servicer; provided,
however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer against any liability that
would otherwise be imposed by reason of bad faith, willful misconduct in the performance of duties,
or by reason of negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any other Basic
Document to which it is a party. The Servicer and any director, officer or employee or agent of
the Servicer may rely in good faith on any advice of counsel, Opinion of Counsel or on any
Officer’s Certificate of the Seller or certificate of auditors or other document of any kind
believed to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper party in respect of any matters
arising under this Agreement.



Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear
in, prosecute, or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its duties to service the
Loans and the related Contracts in accordance with this Agreement, and that in its opinion may

undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the
Noteholders and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. In such event, the legal expenses and
costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs, and
liabilities of the Servicer.



SECTION 7.05. Delegation of Duties.



The Servicer may at any time perform specific duties or all the duties enumerated herein as
servicer under this Agreement through a sub-contractor; provided, that no such delegation
or subcontracting shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibilities with respect to such duties as
to which the Servicer shall remain primarily responsible with respect thereto.



SECTION 7.06. Certification Upon Satisfaction.



Upon the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Section 4.1 thereof,
the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee a written certification of a Responsible Officer
stating, to the best knowledge of such Responsible Officer, that (a) no claims remain against the
Issuer, or (b) the only pending or threatened claims known to such Responsible Officer (including
contingent and unliquidated claims) are those listed on a schedule to such certification.

effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement
of the Loans and the Contracts and related documents, or otherwise.



The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer and the Backup Servicer
in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under
this Agreement, including the transfer to the Backup Servicer or the successor Servicer for

with the terms of this Agreement and (y) the date upon which the predecessor servicer shall become
unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of
Counsel. In the event of the Servicer’s resignation or termination hereunder, the Backup Servicer
shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and
provisions hereof, as modified or limited hereby or by the Backup Servicing Agreement;
provided, however, that the Backup Servicer shall not be liable for any actions of
any Servicer prior to such succession or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any related document or agreement.
Notwithstanding the above, if the Backup Servicer is legally unable to so act, the Trust
Collateral Agent shall appoint (after soliciting bids from potential servicers), or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Servicer as the successor Servicer hereunder, in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the outgoing
Servicer hereunder. In the event that Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Backup Servicer,
is legally unable to act as Servicer under this Agreement and another entity is appointed as
successor Servicer under this Section 8.02(a), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall
have no further obligation to perform the obligations of Servicer or Backup Servicer under this
Agreement. Pending appointment of a successor to the outgoing Servicer hereunder, if the Backup
Servicer is prohibited by law from so acting (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to the Trust
Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders), the outgoing Servicer
shall continue to act as Servicer hereunder until a successor Servicer is appointed and assumes the
obligations as successor Servicer. In the event the Backup Servicer assumes the responsibilities
of the Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.02, the Backup Servicer will make reasonable
efforts consistent with Applicable Law to become licensed, qualified and in good standing under the
laws which require licensing or qualification, in order to perform its obligations as Servicer
hereunder or, alternatively, shall retain an agent who is so licensed, qualified and in good
standing.



(b) Upon appointment, the Backup Servicer or the successor Servicer shall be the successor in
all respects to the predecessor servicer and shall be subject to the responsibilities, duties, and
liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor servicer, (subject to the
limitations and modifications thereto set forth herein or in the Backup Servicing Agreement) and
shall be entitled to (to the extent arranged in accordance with the following paragraph) the
Servicing Fee, Servicer Expenses, Reliening Expenses, Repossession Expenses and all of the rights
granted to the predecessor servicer, by the terms and provisions of this Agreement, provided that
neither the Backup Servicer nor the successor Servicer shall be liable for the acts or omissions of
any predecessor servicer. The Backup Servicer or any successor Servicer shall provide Credit
Acceptance with copies of all documents and information reasonably necessary for Credit Acceptance
to perform its obligations under Section 4.17 of this Agreement.



(c) In connection with such appointment, the Trust Collateral Agent may make such arrangements
for the compensation of such successor Servicer (including Transition Expenses) out of payments on
Loans and related Contracts as it, the Majority Noteholders and such successor Servicer shall
agree; provided, however, that no such compensation (excluding Transition Expenses,
Repossession Expenses and Reliening Expenses) shall be in excess of the Servicing Fee. The Backup
Servicer, the Trust Collateral Agent and any such successor Servicer shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.



SECTION 8.03. Notification to Noteholders and Certificateholders.



Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this
Article VIII, the Trust Collateral Agent shall promptly upon its receipt of notice thereof give
prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders and the Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Note Register and the Certificate Register, to the Owner Trustee and to
each of the Rating Agencies then rating the Notes.



SECTION 8.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.



The Majority Noteholders, may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any or all default(s) by
the Servicer or the Seller in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences,
except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from a Trust Account in accordance
with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist,
and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose
of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee, at the
direction of the Majority Noteholders, shall have the right to waive the payment of any Purchase
Amount required hereunder.

not be a condition to the exercise by the Trust Collateral Agent of its express duties hereunder,
except where the Indenture or this Agreement provides that the Trust Collateral Agent is permitted
to act only following and in accordance with such instructions.



SECTION 9.02. Rights of the Trust Collateral Agent.



(a) Before the Trust Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting, it may require an
Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trust Collateral Agent shall not be liable for
any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer’s Certificate or
Opinion of Counsel.

(c) The Trust Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in
good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided,
however, that the Trust Collateral Agent’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith.



(d) The Trust Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and the written advice or opinion of
counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Notes
or Certificates shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect

defend any litigation under this Agreement or in relation to this Sale and Servicing Agreement, at
the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of Notes or Certificates or the instructing

offered to the Trust Collateral Agent security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against
the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby.



(f) The Trust Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to
do so by the Majority Noteholders; provided, however, that if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Trust Collateral Agent of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be
incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trust Collateral
Agent, not reasonably assured to the Trust Collateral Agent by the security afforded to it by the
terms of this Agreement, the Trust Collateral Agent may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to it against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable
expense of every such examination shall be paid by the requesting Holders or the instructing party,
as the case may be, or, if paid by the Trust Collateral Agent, shall be reimbursed by the
requesting Holders upon demand.



(g) Delivery of any reports, information and documents to the Trust Collateral Agent provided
for herein is for informational purposes only (unless otherwise expressly stated herein) and the
Trust Collateral Agent’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive knowledge of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
Servicer’s, Seller’s or Issuer’s compliance with any of its representations, warranties or
covenants hereunder (as to which the Trust Collateral Agent is entitled to rely exclusively on
Officers’ Certificates).

SECTION 9.03. Individual Rights of Trust Collateral Agent.



The Trust Collateral Agent in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trust Collateral Agent.



The Trust Collateral Agent and its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation
that could be deemed to be in the Trust Collateral Agent’s economic self-interest for (i) serving
as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with
respect to certain of the Eligible Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in
certain Eligible Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Eligible Investments. The
Trust Collateral Agent does not guarantee the performance of any Eligible Investments.



In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time
to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist
activities and money laundering, the Trust Collateral Agent is required to obtain, verify and
record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business
relationship with the Trust Collateral Agent. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto agree to
provide the Trust Collateral Agent upon its request from time to time such identifying information
and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Trust Collateral Agent
to comply with such laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time
applicable to banking institutions.



SECTION 9.04. Reports by Trust Collateral Agent to Holders.



The Trust Collateral Agent shall on behalf of the Issuer deliver to each Noteholder such

(a) The Issuer shall pay to the Trust Collateral Agent from time to time compensation provided
under this Agreement, as provided in a separate fee letter, and all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for
its services, except any such expense as may be attributable to its willful misconduct, negligence
or bad faith. Such compensation and expenses shall be paid in accordance with Section
5.08(a) hereof. Such expenses shall include securities transaction charges relating to the
investment of funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts and the reasonable compensation and reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trust Collateral Agent’s counsel and of all persons not
regularly in its employ; provided, however, that the securities transaction charges
referred to above shall, in the case of certain Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer, be
waived for a particular investment in the event that any amounts are received by the Trust
Collateral Agent from a financial institution in connection with the purchase of such Eligible
Investments.



(b) [Reserved.]



(c) The Issuer’s and the Servicer’s payment obligations to the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant
to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Agreement and any resignation or removal of the
Trust Collateral Agent. When the Trust Collateral Agent incurs expenses after the occurrence of an
Indenture Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(iv) or (v) of the Indenture with respect to the
Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the
United States Code or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Agreement or the Basic Documents, the Trust
Collateral Agent agrees that the obligations of the Issuer or the Seller (but not the Servicer) to
the Trust Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Basic Documents shall not be recourse to the
assets of the Issuer, the Seller or any Noteholder.



SECTION 9.06. Eligibility.



The Trust Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall at all times be a corporation or banking
association having an office in the same state as the location of the Corporate Trust Office as
specified in this Agreement; organized and doing business under the laws of such state or the
United States of America; authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers; having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000; having long-term unsecured debt obligations
rated at least “Baa2” by Moody’s and “BBB-” by Standard and Poor’s; and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authorities. If such corporation shall publish reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trust Collateral Agent shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trust Collateral Agent shall resign
immediately, provided that such resignation shall not be effective until a successor Trust
Collateral Agent accepts appointment in accordance with Section 9.10(d) hereof.



SECTION 9.07. Trust Collateral Agent’s Disclaimer.



The Trust Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for and make no representation as to the
validity, sufficiency or adequacy of this Agreement, the Trust Property or the Securities, shall
not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and shall not be
responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Agreement or in any document issued in
connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities.



SECTION 9.08. Limitation on Liability.



Neither the Trust Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in connection
herewith, except that the Trust Collateral Agent shall be liable for its negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct; nor shall the Trust Collateral Agent be responsible for the validity,
effectiveness, value, sufficiency or enforceability against the Issuer of this Agreement or any of
the Trust Property (or any part thereof). Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement,
the Trust Collateral Agent shall incur no liability to the Issuer for any action taken or omitted
by the Trust Collateral Agent in connection with the Trust Property, except for the negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trust Collateral Agent, and, further, shall incur no
liability to the Issuer except for negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in carrying out its
duties to the Issuer. Subject to Section 9.09, the Trust Collateral Agent shall be
protected and shall incur no liability to any such party in relying upon the accuracy, acting in
reliance upon the contents, and assuming the genuineness of any notice, demand, certificate,
signature, instrument or other document reasonably believed by the Trust Collateral Agent to be
genuine and to have been duly executed by the appropriate signatory (absent actual knowledge of a
Responsible Officer of the Trust Collateral Agent to the contrary), and the Trust Collateral Agent
shall not be required to make any independent investigation or inquiry with respect thereto. The
Trust Collateral Agent shall at all times be free independently to establish to its reasonable
satisfaction, but shall have no duty to independently verify, the existence or nonexistence of
facts that are a condition to the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder or under
any of the Basic Documents. The Trust Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and shall not be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance
with the written advice of such counsel.



SECTION 9.09. Reliance Upon Documents.



In the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, the Trust Collateral Agent
shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any communication, instrument, paper or other document
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper
Person or Persons and shall have no liability in acting, or omitting to act, where such action or
omission to act is in reasonable reliance upon any statement or opinion contained in any such
document or instrument.



SECTION 9.10. Successor Trust Collateral Agent.



(a) Merger. Any Person into which the Trust Collateral Agent may be converted or
merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its trust
business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any Person resulting from any such
conversion, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer to which the Trust Collateral Agent is a party,
shall (provided it is otherwise qualified to serve as the Trust Collateral Agent hereunder) be and
become a successor Trust Collateral Agent hereunder and be vested with all of the trusts, powers,
discretions, immunities, privileges and other matters as was its predecessor without the execution
or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Trust Collateral Agent shall
give notice to the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, and the Rating Agencies of any
such transaction.



(b) Resignation. The Trust Collateral Agent and any successor Trust Collateral Agent
may resign at any time by giving sixty days prior written notice to the Issuer and the Rating
Agencies; provided, that such resignation shall not be effective until a successor Trust Collateral
Agent is appointed and accepts appointment in accordance with clause (d) below.



(c) Removal.




(i) The Issuer may remove the Trust Collateral Agent by written notice if:




(A) a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Trust
Collateral Agent in an involuntary case or proceeding under federal or state banking
or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal
or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, shall have entered a decree or
order granting relief or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,
trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Trust Collateral
Agent or for any substantial part of the Trust Collateral Agent’s property, or
ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Trust Collateral Agent’s affairs;




(B) an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter
in effect, or another present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law is commenced with respect to the Trust Collateral Agent and such case is
not dismissed within 60 days;




(C) the Trust Collateral Agent commences a voluntary case under any federal or
state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other
applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or consents
to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or other similar official) for the
Trust Collateral Agent or for any substantial part of the Trust Collateral Agent’s
property, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or fails generally to
pay its debts as such debts become due or takes any corporate action in furtherance
of any of the foregoing;




(D) failure to comply with any material covenant hereunder; or




(E) the Trust Collateral Agent otherwise becomes legally incapable of acting.




(ii) [Reserved.]




(iii) If the Trust Collateral Agent resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the
office of Trust Collateral Agent for any reason (the Trust Collateral Agent in such event
being referred to herein as the retiring Trust Collateral Agent), the Issuer shall promptly
appoint a successor Trust Collateral Agent.



A successor Trust Collateral Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to
the retiring Trust Collateral Agent and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trust Collateral Agent shall become effective, and the successor Trust Collateral Agent
shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trust Collateral Agent under this
Indenture subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. The successor Trust Collateral
Agent shall mail a notice of its succession to the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee and the
Rating Agencies. The retiring Trust Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer all property held by
it as Trust Collateral Agent to the successor Trust Collateral Agent.



If a successor Trust Collateral Agent does not take office within 60 days after the retiring
Trust Collateral Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Trust Collateral Agent may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trust Collateral Agent that
meets the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 9.06 hereof.



If the Trust Collateral Agent fails to comply with Section 9.12, any Noteholder with
the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee, may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trust Collateral Agent and the appointment of a successor Trust
Collateral Agent.



Any resignation or removal of the Trust Collateral Agent and appointment of a successor Trust
Collateral Agent pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section
9.10(c) and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Trust Collateral Agent by the
Servicer and the Issuer.



Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section, the
Issuer’s and the Servicer’s obligations under Section 9.05 shall continue for the benefit
of the retiring Trust Collateral Agent.



(d) Acceptance by Successor. If the Trust Collateral Agent has resigned or has been
removed pursuant to this Section 9.10, the Owner Trustee shall have the sole right to
appoint each successor Trust Collateral Agent that meets the qualifications required hereunder.
Every temporary or permanent successor Trust Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Owner Trustee, each Noteholder, each
Certificateholder, the Rating Agencies, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer an instrument in
writing accepting such appointment hereunder and the relevant predecessor shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver such other documents and instruments as will effectuate the delivery of all
Collateral to the successor Trust Collateral Agent, whereupon such successor, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights,
powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor. Such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the
written request of the Issuer, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all
the estates, properties, rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder. In the event that any
instrument in writing from the Issuer is reasonably required by a successor Trust Collateral Agent
to more fully and certainly vest in such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties
and obligations vested or intended to be vested hereunder in the Trust Collateral Agent, any and
all such written instruments shall, at the request of the temporary or permanent successor Trust
Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Owner Trustee or the
Issuer, as the case may be. The designation of any successor Trust Collateral Agent and the
instrument or instruments removing any Trust Collateral Agent and appointing a successor hereunder,
together with all other instruments provided for herein, shall be maintained with the records
relating to the Trust Property and, to the extent required by applicable law, filed or recorded by
the successor Trust Collateral Agent in each place where such filing or recording is necessary to
effect the transfer of the Trust Property to the successor Trust Collateral Agent or to protect or
continue the perfection of the security interests granted hereunder.



If no successor Trust Collateral Agent shall have been appointed and accepted the appointment
within sixty (60) days after the giving of notice of resignation, the resigning Trust Collateral
Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trust
Collateral Agent that meets the qualifications required hereunder.



SECTION 9.11. Representations and Warranties of the Trust Collateral Agent.



The Trust Collateral Agent represents and warrants to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and
the Noteholders as follows:




(i) The Trust Collateral Agent is a national banking association, duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of the United States and is authorized to conduct and engage
in a banking and trust business under such laws.




(ii) The Trust Collateral Agent has full corporate power, authority, and legal right to
execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a
party, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery, and
performance, by it of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party.




(iii) This Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party have been
duly executed and delivered by the Trust Collateral Agent.




(iv) This Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party are the legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Trust Collateral Agent enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or
other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general
principles of equity.



SECTION 9.12. Waiver of Setoffs.



Except with respect to the Certificate Distribution Account, the Trust Collateral Agent hereby
expressly waives any and all rights of setoff that the Trust Collateral Agent may otherwise at any
time have under applicable law with respect to any Trust Account and agrees that amounts in the
Trust Accounts shall at all times be held and applied solely in accordance with the provisions
hereof.

TERMINATION




SECTION 10.01. Optional Purchase.



(a) On the last day of any Collection Period as of which the sum of the Class A Note Balance
plus the Class B Note Balance shall be less than or equal to 15% of the sum of the initial Class A
Note Balance plus the initial Class B Note Balance, the Servicer shall have the option, upon no
less than ten days prior written notice prior to the related Distribution Date to the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies, to reacquire the Trust Property, other than
the Trust Accounts. To exercise such option, the Servicer shall deposit pursuant to Section
5.04 in the Collection Account an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Amount for the Loans,
plus the appraised value of any other property held by the Trust (other than the Trust Accounts),
such value to be determined by an Independent appraiser selected by the Servicer. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Servicer shall not exercise such option unless the aggregate Purchase Amount is
sufficient to pay the full amount of principal and interest due and payable on each class of the
Notes, and all amounts due and payable to the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the
Backup Servicer and the Owner Trustee under the Basic Documents. Upon such deposit the Servicer
shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust (other than the Trust Accounts).



(b) Notice of any termination of the Trust shall be given by the Servicer to the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Rating Agencies as soon as
practicable after the Servicer has received notice of the occurrence of an event of termination
under Section 9.1(a) of the Trust Agreement.



SECTION 10.02. Termination.



Upon the earlier of (a) the payment of the full amount of principal and interest due and
payable on the Notes, and all amounts due and payable to the Indenture Trustee, the Trust
Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer and the Owner Trustee under the Basic Documents and the
satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, and (b) the payment in full or other liquidation of
the last outstanding Loan and the subsequent distribution of amounts in respect of such Loans as
provided in the Basic Documents and the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, this Agreement
shall terminate; provided that Section 7.06, Section 9.05(c), Section 11.13
and the indemnification obligations of the Issuer under Section 6.05 and of the Servicer
under Section 4.09(f) and Section 7.02 shall survive such termination.



ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS




SECTION 11.01. Amendment.



This Agreement may be amended by the Seller, the Servicer, and the Trust Collateral Agent,
without the consent of any of the Noteholders (at the written direction of the Issuer) to: (i) cure
any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement, or to add any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement that shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; or (ii) reflect the succession of a successor
Servicer or successor Backup Servicer; provided, however, that in connection with
any amendment pursuant to clause (i), the action referred to therein shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder; and
provided, further, that in connection with any amendment pursuant to clause (ii) above, the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee a letter from each
Rating Agency, which then has a rating on the Notes, to the effect that such amendment will not
cause the then current ratings on the Notes to be qualified, reduced or withdrawn.



This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Seller, the Servicer, and the
Trust Collateral Agent (at the written direction of the Issuer) with the consent of the Majority
Noteholders, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Agreement, or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
the Notes; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce
in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on
Contracts or distributions that shall be required to be made on any class of Notes or change the
Class A Note Rate, Class B Note Rate, Class A Principal Distributable Amount, Class B Principal
Distributable Amount or Class C Principal Distributable Amount, or (b) reduce the percentage
required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of each Holder of Notes then
outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no consent of any Noteholder shall be
required in connection with any amendment in order for the Certificateholders to sell, assign,
transfer or otherwise dispose of the excess interest, provided that the Certificateholders present
evidence to the Trust Collateral Agent that the ratings of the Notes shall not be reduced or
withdrawn as a result.



Prior to the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Servicer will provide and the
Trust Collateral Agent shall distribute written notification of the substance of such amendment or
consent to each Rating Agency then rating the Notes.



Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Trust Collateral Agent
shall furnish a copy of the substance of such amendment or consent to each Noteholder and each
Certificateholder.



It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders pursuant to this Section to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such
consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other
consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trust
Collateral Agent may prescribe.



Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trust Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of
such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and the Opinion of Counsel referred to
in Section 11.02(i)(1). The Trust Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into any such amendment which affects the Trust Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties or
immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.



SECTION 11.02. Protection of Title to Trust.



(a) The Seller shall file such financing statements and cause to be filed such continuation
statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve,
maintain, and protect the interest of the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust
Collateral Agent in the Loans and the related Contracts and in the proceeds thereof and the sale of
accounts and chattel paper. The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Trust
Collateral Agent file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided
above, as soon as available following such filing.



(b) None of the Originator, the Seller nor the Servicer shall change its name, identity, state
of incorporation or formation or corporate structure in any manner that would, could, or might make
any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller in accordance with paragraph
(a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of §9-506 or §9-507 of the UCC, unless it shall
have given the Trust Collateral Agent at least five days’ prior written notice thereof and shall
have promptly filed appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements or
continuation statements.



(c) The Seller, the Originator and the Servicer shall give the Trust Collateral Agent at least
60 days’ prior written notice of any relocation of its principal executive office or change of its
state of incorporation or formation if, as a result of any such change, the applicable provisions
of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or
continuation statement or of any new financing statement and shall promptly file any such
amendment. The Servicer shall at all times maintain each office from which it shall service the
Loans and the related Contracts, and its principal executive office, within the United States of
America.



(d) The Servicer shall maintain accounts and records as to each Loan and Contract accurately
and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time the status of such
Loan and Contract, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of
each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each Loan and
Contract and the amounts from time to time deposited in the Collection Account in respect of such
Loan and Contract.



(e) The Servicer shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale
under this Agreement of the Loans and the related Contracts to the Trust, the Servicer’s master
computer records (including any back-up archives) that refer to a Loan or Contract shall indicate
clearly (including by means of tagging) the interest of the Trust in such Loan or Contract and that
such Loan or Contract is owned by the Trust. Indication of the Trust’s ownership of a Loan or
Contract shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer’s computer systems when, and only when,
the Loan or Contract shall have been paid in full or repurchased.



(f) If at any time the Seller or the Servicer shall propose to sell, grant a security interest
in, or otherwise transfer any interest in automotive receivables to any prospective purchaser,
lender, or other transferee, the Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender, or
other transferee computer tapes, records, or print-outs (including any restored from back-up
archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Loan or Contract, shall
indicate clearly (including by means of tagging) that such Loan or Contract has been sold and is
owned by the Trust.



(g) The Servicer shall, upon reasonable prior notice, permit the Trust Collateral Agent and
its agents at any time during normal business hours to inspect, audit, and make copies of and
abstracts from the Servicer’s records regarding any Loan or Contract at the office of the Servicer
in a reasonable manner.



(h) Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trust Collateral Agent and the Indenture
Trustee, within twenty Business Days, a list of all Loans and Contracts (by agreement or contract
number and name of Dealer or Obligor) then held as part of the Trust, together with a
reconciliation of such list to the schedule of Loans, Dealer Agreements, Purchase Agreements and
Contracts attached hereto as Schedule A and to each of the Servicer’s Certificates
furnished before such request indicating removal of Loans or Contracts from the Trust.



(i) The Seller shall deliver to the Trust Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee:




(1) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement and of each amendment
thereto, an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such
counsel, all financing statements (and releases of financing statements) and
continuation statements have been filed that are necessary fully to preserve and
protect the interest of the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent in the
Loans and the related Contracts, and reciting the details of the expected filings
thereof or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given,
or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be
necessary to preserve and protect such interest; and




(2) within 90 days after the beginning of each calendar year beginning with the
first calendar year beginning more than three months after the Cut-off Date, an
Opinion of Counsel, dated as of a date during such 90-day period, either (A) stating
that, in the opinion of such Counsel, all financing statements and continuation
statements have been filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the
interest of the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent in the Loans and
the related Contracts, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to
prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (B) stating that, in
the opinion of such Counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and
protect such interest. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the filing of
any financing statements and continuation statements that will, in the opinion of
such counsel, be required to preserve and protect the interest of the Indenture
Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent in the Loans and the related Contracts, until
the 90th day in the following calendar year.



Each Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (i)(1) or (i)(2) above shall specify any action
necessary (as of the date of such opinion) to be taken in the following calendar year to preserve
perfection of such interest.



(j) For the purpose of facilitating the execution of this Agreement and for other purposes,
this Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be
deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.



SECTION 11.03. Limitation on Rights of Noteholders.



No Noteholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided in this Agreement or in the
Indenture) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the
obligations of the parties to this Agreement, nor shall anything in this Agreement set forth, or
contained in the terms of the Notes be construed so as to constitute the Noteholders from time to
time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Noteholder be under any liability to
any third person by reason of any action taken pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.



No Noteholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this
Agreement to institute any suit, action, or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with
respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trust Collateral
Agent a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, and unless also (i) the default
arises from the Seller’s or the Servicer’s failure to remit payments when due hereunder, or (ii)
the Majority Noteholders shall have made written request upon the Trust Collateral Agent to
institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trust Collateral Agent under this
Agreement and such Holder shall have offered to the Trust Collateral Agent such indemnity as it may
reasonably require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby,
and the Trust Collateral Agent, for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request, and offer of
indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and
during such 30-day period no request or waiver inconsistent with such written request has been
given to the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section or Section 8.04; no one or
more Holders of Notes or Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by
availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb, or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the Notes or the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to
obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder (but subject to the priorities of
payment set forth herein), or to enforce any right, under this Agreement except in the manner
provided in this Agreement and for the equal, ratable, and common benefit of all Noteholders and
all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each
Noteholder, each Certificateholder and the Trust Collateral Agent shall be entitled to such relief
as can be given either at law or in equity.



In the event the Trust Collateral Agent shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and
indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each representing less than the required
amount of the Class A Notes, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what
action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement.

Perfection Representations, Warranties And Covenants




In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agreement, the
Seller hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee as follows
on the Closing Date and on each Distribution Date on which the Trust purchases Loans, in each case
only with respect to the Seller Property conveyed to the Trust on such Closing Date or the relevant
Distribution Date:



General




1. The Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in UCC Section 9-102)
in the Seller Property in favor of the Trust, which security interest is prior to all other Liens,
and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from and assignees of the Seller.



2. Each Contract constitutes “tangible chattel paper” or a “payment intangible”, within the meaning
of UCC Section 9-102. Each Dealer Loan constitutes a “payment intangible” or a “general
intangible” within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102.



3. Each Dealer Agreement and Purchase Agreement constitutes either a “general intangible” or
“tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102.



4. The Seller has taken or will take all necessary actions with respect to the Loans to perfect its
security interest in the Loans and in the property securing the Loans.



Creation




1. The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Initial Seller Property or Subsequent
Seller Property, as applicable, free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person,
excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred in
the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any applicable
grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in good faith by proper
proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure
with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien
attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.



Perfection




1. The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of the
Indenture, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the
appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the contribution and sale of the
Contributed Property from the Originator to the Seller, the transfer and sale of the Seller
Property from the Seller to the Issuer, and the security interest in the Collateral granted to the
Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.



2. With respect to Seller Property that constitutes tangible chattel paper, such tangible chattel
paper is in the possession of the Servicer, in its capacity as custodian for the Trust and the
Trust Collateral Agent, and the Trust Collateral Agent has received a written acknowledgment from
the Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, that it is holding such tangible chattel paper solely
on its behalf and for the benefit of the Trust Collateral Agent, the Seller, the Trust and the
relevant Dealer(s). All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of
the Issuer or its assignee in connection with this Agreement describing the Seller Property contain
a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral
described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party.”



Priority




1. Other than the security interest granted to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller
has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the
Seller Property. None of the Originator, the Servicer nor the Seller has authorized the filing of,
or is aware of any financing statements against either the Seller, the Originator or the Trust that
includes a description of the Seller Property and proceeds related thereto other than any financing
statement: (i) relating to the sale of Contributed Property by the Originator to the Seller under
the Sale and Contribution Agreement, (ii) relating to the security interest granted to the Trust
hereunder, (iii) relating to the security interest granted to the Trust Collateral Agent under the
Indenture; or (iv) that has been terminated or amended to reflect a release of the Seller Property.



2. Neither the Seller, the Originator nor the Trust is aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien
filings against either the Seller, the Originator or the Trust.



3. None of the tangible chattel paper that constitutes or evidences the Contracts, the Dealer
Agreements or the Purchase Agreements has any marks or notations indicating that it has been
pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Originator, the Servicer, the
Seller, the Trust, a collection agent or the Trust Collateral Agent.



Survival of Perfection Representations




1. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the Sale and Contribution Agreement, the
Indenture or any other Basic Document, the Perfection Representations, Warranties and Covenants
contained in this Schedule shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect
(notwithstanding any replacement of the Servicer or termination of Servicer’s rights to act as
such) until such time as all obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Sale and
Contribution Agreement and the Indenture have been finally and fully paid and performed.



No Waiver




1. The parties hereto: (i) shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current ratings
of the Notes, waive any of the Perfection Representations, Warranties or Covenants; (ii) shall
provide the Rating Agencies with prompt written notice of any breach of the Perfection
Representations, Warranties or Covenants, and shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the
then-current ratings of the Notes as determined after any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings
following notice of such breach, waive a breach of any of the Perfection Representations,
Warranties or Covenants.
